Subject: RE: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems
Hi,

Reading the lines of Ship Logs a tune presented itself. I might like to sing it one day, but for that I need help with two expressions that don't make sense to me on this side of the North Sea. Would someone explain to me:

* to the south'ard of St. Paul
* Sweethearts on the tow-rope, with a pull there's no denying,
Stamp and go together, draw you home to Plymouth Sound.

Thanks,
